| Description: |
The arena of contrasting dark and light in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
salt and pepper...
This doodle is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
